Ok, so i have checked everything... I have a 99 XJ with rubicon express 4.5" lift kit installed. It was installed with lower control arms backward, i have since turned one of them around thinking that a very loud clunk i heard in the front end was a result of that.
After swapping that one around, i still hear the clunk coming from both sides of the truck.
Is it the control arm? is it a shock mount? is it an engine mount?
it's only when i turn from side to side and the weight of the vehicle shifts from one side to the other. When i'm going 30 i can make small turns to shift the weight and you'll hear it.
Or, if' i'm going slow, i can go up over a bump while turning or something and hear it.
I'm at a loss to what it is.. i've crawled under and tightened EVERYTHING that had a nut on it and still nothing. I just cant figure it out and it seems to be getting louder. I'm temped to strap myself to the undercarriage of my truck and have a friend drive it down the street so i can listen to where it's coming from. Honestly, i'm not fooling, i'm really thinking about doing it.
clunk, clunk clunk clunk is all i ever hear.. arrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
what the hell could it be!
